Question

Member: Voluntary EDD: September 2026 Qualifying Period
Question from Geraldine
Jun 19, 2026

Edd ko po ay sa Sept 2026, Ang nahulog ko lang po sa sss ko last year ay March 2025, June 2025 to January 2026 may makukuha po ba akong maternity benefits po nyan?

Answer from SSS Maternity Calculator Team Answered Jun 24, 2026

Yes mommy, qualified ka possible 😊

For EDD September 2026, ang qualifying period is April 2025 to March 2026. Need at least 3 posted contributions within that period. SSS says maternity benefit requires at least 3 contributions in the 12-month period before the semester of childbirth.

Sa hulog mo, counted ang June 2025 to January 2026. Yung March 2025 hindi counted kasi before qualifying period.

So yes, may makukuha ka possible, basta posted ang contributions mo. Amount depends sa monthly contribution/MSC mo.

Pwede mo i-check estimate dito mommy:

Question from alia
Jun 19, 2026

EDD ko po January 2027, pwede pa po ba ako ma qualify the benefits at maghulog ?thankyou

Answer from SSS Maternity Calculator Team Answered Jun 24, 2026

Yes mommy, pwede pa po possible 😊
Kung EDD mo ay January 2027, ang qualifying period mo is October 2025 to September 2026. Need mo ng at least 3 posted contributions within that period para ma-qualify sa maternity benefit.
Kung Voluntary/SE ka, pwede ka pang maghulog sa mga months na pasok pa sa qualifying period, basta may PRN, paid on time, at posted. Mas okay asikasuhin agad.(if quarterly payment ka generate ka 1prn for April – June then pay mo xa on or before end of July or as early as possible then yung July to Sept Quarterly payment pay mo xa on or before end of Sept.)

Question

Member: Voluntary EDD: January 2027 Contribution / Payment Deadline
Question from Akemi
Jun 19, 2026

EDD q po ay January 2027.. my hulog po ako ng October 2025 to January 2026 pwede pa po ba mkahulog ng para sa feb- march para madagdagan kahit papano

Answer from SSS Maternity Calculator Team Answered Jun 24, 2026

Hi mommy, qualified ka na possible kasi may hulog ka na October 2025 to January 2026 😊
For EDD January 2027, ang qualifying period mo is October 2025 to September 2026. Need lang at least 3 posted contributions within that period.
Pero yung February–March 2026, kung hindi pa nabayaran hanggang ngayon, possible late na kasi Q1 deadline usually end of April. Mas safe na ang habulin mo na lang ay April–September 2026, basta gagawa ka ng PRN, paid on time, at posted. SSS says SE/Voluntary members may pay monthly or quarterly through PRN. .(if quarterly payment ka generate ka 1prn for April – June then pay mo xa on or before end of July or as early as possible then yung July to Sept Quarterly payment pay mo xa on or before end of Sept.)

Question

Member: Voluntary EDD: December 2026 Employer / Resigned / Separated
Question from MYRALYN
Jun 18, 2026

EDD ko po ay Dec. 25,2026 ang last hulog ko pa po ay March 2024 pa nung nag wowork pa ko sa company. Then d ko na po na hulog an since wala naman po ako work nasa bahay lang tapos na laman ko pong buntis ako ay nitong May 2026 Lang makakaabot pa po ba ako sa contribution para ma claim ang maternity benefits?

Answer from SSS Maternity Calculator Team Answered Jun 24, 2026

Yes mommy, possible pa makahabol 😊

For EDD Dec. 25, 2026, ang qualifying period mo is July 2025 to June 2026. Yung last hulog mo na March 2024 ay hindi na counted.

Since June 2026 pa ngayon, pwede mo subukan maghulog as Voluntary for April–June 2026. Kung ma-PRN, mabayaran on time, at ma-post sa SSS, may 3 contributions ka na and possible ka nang ma-qualify.(Pay on or before end of June)

Pero yung Jan–March 2026 or older months, likely late na at hindi na mahahabol. Yung July 2026 onwards, pwede mo ituloy for future benefits, pero hindi na counted sa Dec 2026 maternity computation.

Check mo estimate mo dito mommy:
